Abstract: Image enhancement is automatically achieved by calibrating the reference voltage and gain of a differential amplifier and the integration interval so as to provide an input to a differential analog to digital converter (ADC) that utilizes the full dynamic range of the ADC. When used with a CMOS array, the imaging logic can be fabricated on a single chip with the array using combinational logic for fast, inexpensive calibration. Another advantageous feature is the ability to expand a desired portion of the luminance spectrum of the image in order to increase the digital resolution of the resulting image for that portion of the spectrum of interest.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a connector for joining fluid flow
passage-ways in a fluid handling system. The connector may be manually
manipulated, without using any tools, to quickly and easily couple or decouple the
mating connector components. Those components include a plug (12) having a
cylindrical plug wall and a radially extending flange, and a mating socket (14) having a
cylindrical socket wall and a pair of diametrically opposed retainers (24). The retainers
each comprise an axially extending flexible lever (26) spaced from the socket wall.
The lever is joined to the socket wall at a base or proximal end and has a latch (34) at
its free or distal end. The lever is also joined to the socket wall by a fulcrum wall
or living hinge positioned intermediate the ends of the lever. A split lock ring is
disposed between the socket wall and each retainer and is movable from a position
adjacent the base of each retainer to a position remote from the base of each
retainer. The latch at the free end of each retainer is engageable with the plug
flange to prevent disengagement of the plug and socket when the levers are in
their free, unstressed state. However, the levers may be manually deflected or
depressed at a flexing portion thereof when the lock ring is positioned adjacent the
retainer bases to disengage each latch from the plug flange and thereby permit
axial decoupling of the plug and socket.

Abstract: The method involves supplying a sheet metal strip (14) and supplying a printed foil (12) which has undersized repeating graphic elements (20). The distance of the elements is detected and then the foil is laminated on the metal strip. The foil is stretched before or during laminating so that the spacing between the specific elements corresponds to the predetermined ideal spacing plus or minus a tolerance. The actual distance after laminating is detected in a second scanning device and the deviation from the ideal distance is determined and used for controlling the stretching. A third scanning device prior to separation controls the advance so that the tolerances can be compensated during separation. The sheet metal strip and foil are supplied continuously but the foil is supplied more slowly. After separation the corners of the plate are rounded.

Abstract: The invention provides an information recording by which multi-value
recording with high density can be achieved while preventing an increase
of the error rate effectively and tracks can be formed in a
comparatively small track pitch in multi-value recording while minimizing
crosstalk. The dc component and high frequency components of a
multi-value signal are suppressed within a range within which
intersymbol interference does not occur between adjacent data to produce
a modulation signal, and the modulation signal is recorded as a
displacement of a groove wall face or the like. Further, tracks are
formed such that the track pitch normalized with a resolving power may
fall within a range from 0.44 to 0.60.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for
correcting frequency offset of a local oscillator (52) in a direct
sequence spread spectrum receiver such as UMTS. Received signals
comprise a plurality of sequential slots of data. At least one
of these includes synchronization data. A correlation is
performed between this received data and a locally stored
synchronization code. Subsequently, the received data is phase
adjusted and a further correlation performed between the phase
adjusted data and the locally stored synchronization code. The
strongest correlation peak is then determined and a phase offset
to be applied to the local oscillator (52) is estimated from the
phase adjustment required to produce the strongest peak. This is
subsequently applied to the local oscillator (52).

Abstract: System and method for transparently extending the non-volatile storage on a computer system via links from one drive to one or more other drives. When the user adds a new disk drive, it is formatted but not mounted where the user can see it. The data of selected files is automatically migrated from the original drive to the new, supplemental drive, or directly created thereon, and a link is placed on the original volume to indicate to the system that the data is really elsewhere. In one implementation, this is accomplished via an NTFS reparse point on an NTFS link that is made a sparse file, thereby reclaiming the disk space on the original drive. A driver in the NTFS filter stack or the like in conjunction with the file system handles directing reads and writes to the new location, and also handles other operations including totaling the free space of each drive in response to a free space request. The driver may also enforce file operation rules, that may depend on whether the supplemental drive and/or supplemental file system is present or removed, and so forth. In this manner, the size of the original drive increases from a user's perspective, while providing a unified view of namespace, with file names present even when the supplemental drive is removed.

Abstract: A processor-based device (102) incorporating an on-chip instruction trace cache (200) capable of providing
information for reconstructing instruction execution flow. The trace information can be captured without halting
normal processor (104) operation. Both serial (204) and parallel (214) communication channels are provided for

that disrupt the instruction flow are reported, particularly instructions in which the target address is in some way data
dependent. For example, call instructions or unconditional branch instructions in which the target address is provided
from a data register (or other memory location such as a stack) cause a trace cache entry to be generated. In the case
of many unconditional branches or sequential instructions, no entry is placed into the trace cache (200) because the
target address can be completely determined from the instruction stream. Other information provided by the
instruction trace cache (200) includes: the target address of a trap or interrupt handler, the target address of a return
instruction, addresses from procedure returns, task identifiers, and trace capture stop/start information.

Abstract: A position sensor system (10) capable of self compensation over wide
temperature ranges, air gaps and tilts. Three matched MRs (MR1, MR2, MR3) are
aligned in the direction of movement (X) of a magnetic target (30). The middle
MR (MR2) is the position sensor, and the two outer MRs serve as reference sensors
which sense the magnetic field at the limits of the position sensing range. The
cooperating magnetic target assures that one of the two outer MR elements is
always exposed to some maximum magnetic field, B MAX , corresponding to a
position X MAX , and the other MR element is always exposed to some minimum
magnetic field, B MIN , corresponding to a position X MIN , such that B MIN  ≤ B X  ≤
B MAX , corresponding to X MIN  ≤ X ≤ X MAX , where B X  is the magnetic field measured
by the middle MR and varies with the position, X, of the target. The actual
position, X, is computed assuming a linear relation between MR resistance in the
magnetic field range from B MIN  to B MAX  and the position, X, of the target. This is
accomplished by making the magnetic field a linear function of position in the
range X MIN  to X MAX  and using MRs whose resistance is a linear function of
magnetic field in the range B MIN  to B MAX .
